The compact 1990 Pontiac Grand Am sees few changes this year, and continues with the base LE and SE trims in either a four-door sedan or two-door coupe. The LE models sport a 2.5-liter, 110-hp I4, while the SE carries a new high output 2.3-liter Quad 4 twin cam engine rated at 180-hp. All models come standard with a 5-speed manual transmission, with the option of a 3-speed automatic. The boxy 1990 Grand Am had seating for four, and the base LE model was certainly that. Standard features were limited to power steering, bucket seats, tinted glass, and a radio. Options added on a lot of what was standard on the SE, including cruise control, air conditioning, power windows and locks. Other options unique to the SE were a sunroof, power driver's seat and roof rack. While 1990 Grand Am owners seem to like the car's handling, responsive acceleration, and comfortable and roomy interior, many complain about constant repairs, pointing out problems with the alternator, starter, and head gaskets. They also mention the problem of peeling paint, the lack of more than one cupholder, and an overall general unreliability.
I have a 1990 Pontiac Grand am with a 2.5 in it the car will start sometimes and run fine but if you turn it off it takes forever before it will start again, seems like when it won't start it's not getting any fire because I can spray starting fluid into the carburetor and will not fire and at the same time seems that when it does not fire it does not get fuel please help
The window roller is striped and won't roll down.
when I apply the brakes seems like only the rear brakes are working.new brakes front and rear. rotors and drums replaced.replaced master cylinder.could it be the proportioning valve?no one has a valve for the car
After running the motor for a while in the morning the temp will be just above 100 with some heat coming from the heater ( although not much at all) After traveling about 7 to 10 mile down the road there is very little heat detected at all. Temp gauge will go maybe to the second notch above 100 but quickly down to the first notch then travels between 100 and the first notch passed 100. From what Ive been able to find this car should heat to 195. How much dose this cool temp affect the heater out put and what can I do to fix this problem. Already did a back flush of heater core but not much difference at all in heater out put. Pontiac Grand AM 2.5
